Hyperacidity, Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, Peptic ulcer

Medicinal Benefits:

Opan It Tablet is a combination of two drugs, namely: Pantoprazole and Itopride. Pantoprazole belongs to a group of medicines called proton pump inhibitors whereas itopride belongs to a group of medicines called prokinetic agents. Opan It Tablet is used to treat gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (reflux of gastric contents into the oesophagus), and peptic ulcers. Pantoprazole works by blocking the action of an enzyme called gastric proton pump, which is responsible for the production of acid. Itopride works by accelerating gastric emptying, and improves gastric sensitivity and tension. It also has anti-emetic action. Together, Opan It Tablet helps in preventing acid reflux, thereby providing relief from acidity.
